I'm on PG&E, no worries  I'm sure the Union will not be very happy about this, they will back you to the hilt when you are in the right, but in cases of drinking or other similar infractions on the job, well, you are on your own. |

I can only assume that this is opinion is based on your decades of imaginary work experience with DWP. And I'm sure that N_S will be along to discourage any discussion of current events by once again telling us it's none of our business.

| Based on two important criteria - I'm in IRWD territory and I didn't click the link - you're safe in assuming it's none of my business.
Well, that and it was simply a link to a video with no value add. |

kudos:1 | The video spoke for itself. But it's your right not to get involved and I respect that. But as a concerned citizen I choose to get involved and point out wrongs and waste in government that ultimately effect us all. But you can take heart that at least in 1964 there were 38 others that shared your "none of my business" attitude. I'm sure that they would validate your opinion - well they could but they probably wouldn't want to get involved. » www2.selu.edu/Academics/Faculty/···erg.html--

hopefully those particular douchebags won't still be working at the DWP in the next few days. I didn't see a date on that video. I sincerely doubt that those guys represent any sizable portion of the DWP workforce.
By the way, how exactly is anyone getting involved and pointing out wrongs... by posting a response here?

This story broke last summer, I remember hearing about it. The DWP/Union basically blew it off, no one was punished that I have heard. |

LOS ANGELES – Six LADWP employees have been suspended from normal duties following an undercover investigative report by CBS 2′s David Goldstein, according to a spokesperson for the department.
The report revealed the workers drinking, driving and visiting strip clubs while on duty.
The workers were reassigned while an internal investigation was being conducted, the spokesperson said. |

| Promoted to CHP officer, city manager or some other lofty post. |

As of May 2010:
Under the process set forth by State law, the City’s Civil Service Commission and Department policy, we informed the two employees of our "intention" to terminate them for misconduct. They will now have the opportunity to respond to the allegations and the proposed action and we will consider their response before rendering a final decision. We expect this process to be concluded in the next two weeks.
Our investigation and review into allegations of potential misconduct involving alcohol, drinking and driving or other inappropriate behavior by additional employees remains ongoing.
The potential misconduct was the subject of an investigative story broadcast on KCBS Channel 2 on April 29th. After the story aired, we contacted KCBS and requested their assistance in providing additional information regarding their investigation. They declined our requests.
To date, we have been denied even the most basic information and cooperation to assist in our investigation, including the dates their video footage was taped. While we respect the right of the press to protect their sources, we fail to see how the failure to provide us with basic information – dates, times, and unedited footage -serves the community at-large.
...under the rug it all went. |
